loosing?Try tightening it.

The Recliner

In this forum you embrace it as the gift that it is

The Wimmins love it, there is nothing more romantic than the moonlight bouncing off a shiney hairless head

This is of course also enhanced if you have the bulging well fed belly to match

Cathmandooo

Embrace it!! Don't try to cover it up, it'll never work!

I have very little left myself. I keep my shaved tight, it looks tidy and professional and people always notice when I get it cut.

I started losing mine at the tender age of 16 so I shaved it all off and have kept it like that since it also slows the process down quite alot

Rejoice in the knowledge that you are one step closer to becoming a Brother.

Rejoice knowing that a beer gut will be along shortly to complete the picture.

Zaph

Get yourself a bag to keep it in.

Embrace the comb-over.

Brother, I'd like to assure you that you are not loosing (or losing, for that matter) your hair. What seems to be happening is that you have actually become too tall for your hair (as has happened to me). I have loads at the back and sides but the top is sadly lacking.

Its all my grandfathers fault, as my father keeps telling me. He delights in informing me that he believes he has more hair now than he ever did when I was growing up. I know my hairline (or lack of it) is to be rejoiced about these parts but I'll never get used to it :mad:

Me neither. Anyone try using copper peptides? Any good?

Draw on some fake hair with a black marker like David Gest, nobody will spot it....Then you'll look as good as he does and all your dreams will be fulfilled

If thats your idea of looking good, either you need a white stick and a guide dog fairly sharpish, or else I need to ask you are you single, because your standards would appear to be quite low I may not be an oil painting, but I'd like to think I look better than that (even without a full head of hair!) :cool:

cathysworld

Isn't David Gest every womans dream (hair) man??

stateofflux

its worth shaving it off and seeing what you look like with a kojak cue ball....its 50/50, you could look great or not....if you don't do something its gonna affect your confidence....
you could try rogaine etc which works really well for like 20% of people and useless with the rest lol...or make an apppointment with a hair transplant specialist...(if you have at least 12 grand spare...) BUT bear in mind transplants leave scars and you won't be able to do a kojak any more ...i dont like the idea of wigs so i won't advise that "hair system" glorified wig shennanigans.....i had to laugh at an ad i saw for the hair system ...quote "me and my hair system will never seperate" classic.....

On the assumption that you are in your late forties then you are most likely suffering from Male Pattern Baldness........a simple result of getting older.........there is really a male menopause called the Andropause.......get used to it pal..!!

I've heard that Propecia and other drugs will at least stop the fallout so be something soon rather than later. If it's already progressed to a late stage you can get hair plugs. It'll look funny at first but when they're in, I believe that they're in for life.

Shave it all off, that's what I did.

I noticed a few years ago that my hair was thinning on top but I kind of would let it grow in an effort to hide it. Then I remember one night being out in Dublin and it was lashing rain and I got soaked. We ended up in Cafe WhataPain on Dawson St (don't judge me, I didn't want to go there but was overruled). Anyway I was in there and they had a big huge mirror behind the bar and I seen myself and all I could see was my scalp and what looked like rats tails hanging from it. I was horrified.

That was a Thursday night so I decided then that I was going to get the head shaved. So I naturally got all nervous about it, got up early on the Sat morning and went straight to the barbers. Psyched myself up, sat down and said "number 2 all over". I think he asked me was I sure and I said "yep, do it". And I'm telling you, it was one of the most liberating feelings ever. I felt like I was casting off an old person, an old shell and becoming someone new.

The flip side is that a bottle of shampoo lasts you about 6 months, it takes about 5 seconds to dry your hair, literally. Just wipe it with the towel and its sorted. The downside is that your head can be a bit cold in the winter so I'd advise doing it now while the weather is still ok-ish and it gives you time to adjust.

I haven't regretted doing it and have received compliments from my friends reckoning that it looks much better and healthier. My mother hates it of course so it must be good

I have to admit I think I've received more attention from women as well since I shaved my head.

I don't shave it tight with a razor so it's bald. Just a number 2 blade when I went to the barbers the first time. After that I bought a set of clippers in Argos or some place and I just cut my own hair every 2 weeks or so now. So you're saving money on shampoo and trips to the barbers. It has to be done in these recessionary times!

Maybe you've just got too tall for it and out grown it

Worried about going bald?Women pointing and sniggering at you?

call the A team .

I'm bald btw and it didn't do me any good ,

goingpostal

I love the cue ball look, but its so fecking cold.

KTRIC

I started loosing it at my temples slowly over the past 5 years.

When I shaved my long locks off its more obvious. I keep it at about 6 mil and it looks fine.

Is it just a myth or do women actually find balding men attractive ?

CPT. SURF

A barber once told me that if you are going to lose hair you will lose 85% of what you will lose between the ages of 25-35. So what you have left at 35 is what you will continue to have. Is this true?

Anyway I started getting a widows peak around 22 but all hair loss seems to have stopped now at 27. In fact, I don't think I have lost any in the last two years, if anything it might even look a little better. Anyone else experience something like this?

Yes, but it's that classic trade-off between taking DHT-suppressors and growing breasts.

Look...all the wimmins really want from a man is a nice smile, clean shirt and that you nod and go 'yes, that's right darling' intermittently when they talk at you.
